Notes - Writing this late Wed night, this has been a good day.  Bottom line, marked improvement in my elbow and arm tension, which is great.  Had a deep-tissue massage last night from my long-time massage therapist, he really got in there and worked the brachialis / biceps among other muscles and I really needed it, big time.  The training session today was solid, no issues, these movements were fine.  Noticed a bit of the L elbow in the goblet (pushing into the bell), but not bad, and absolutely nothing on the swings.  Finished with hammer curls with an 8kg based on Kevin's instruction, full extension at the top and bottom, didn't seem to cause any issues at all.  Was tough though, I was surprised.  L arm was shaking on the last few reps.  Just going to keep resting, recovering, pushing through this.  I probably overcooked things and on top of that, lots of stresses going on with work, coaching the kids for both of their soccer teams, etc. etc.  Backing off is the right thing to do right now.
